thumbsup

Static web galleries for all your photos and videos

What is thumbsup?

Thumbsup is a static gallery generator. Point it at a folder full of photos and videos, and it will build an HTML website to view them. It takes care of resizing photos, creating thumbnails, re-encoding videos to a web-friendly format, and more...

Open-source

Thumbsup is free, and the source code is hosted on Github. Contributions are always welcome.

Get started in seconds

Create a whole gallery from a single command. If you have more time, pick a theme, configure your styles, or change the config settings to control how albums are created.

Fast

Thumbsup keeps track of which photos are new and only rebuilds what's necessary. If everything is up to date, running thumbsup on a 50GB folder only takes a few seconds.

Mobile friendly

The generated website can be viewed on any device - including videos. Have a look for yourself at the demo site.

Cross-platform

Available as an npm module or a Docker image, it works on macOS, Linux and Windows. Thumbsup it built upon well established tools like ffmpeg.

Deploy anywhere

The generated galleries are fully static and self contained. Browse them from your computer, or upload them to AWS S3 for the world to see.

Themes

Pick a theme for your gallery! Themes include navigation, album previews, photo/video pages and a media viewer. Customise your theme & colors easily with extra CSS rules. Learn more about themes in the documentation.

Quick start
